What most people don’t realize is that the fiat value of bitcoin simply reflects the volatility of the system outside of it.
Inside of Bitcoin’s system, it remains stable, transparent, verifiable, predictable.

Yes. The ultimate argument for Bitcoin is moral. It goes beyond NGU.

What is Bitcoin? It’s an ethical foundation for establishing social relations among sovereign human beings.

2025-06-10 01:39:45 UTC

Bitcoin = Global public registry of rights w/out intermediaries.
Recognition of the right of self-custody is the functional equivalent of a constitutional revision in every jurisdiction adopting it, recalibrating relationship bet individuals & states. A civilizational upgrade.

16 years ago, an idea was born. A global constitution for an open, fair, transparent system for communicating and exchanging value. The paper is shorter than the U.S. Constitution, but is bound to be more important than that seminal document. Like the constitution, it’s bound to transform speech, expression, freedom, self-defense, right against searches and seizures, taxation, property, etc. It’s destined to alter governments and the fate of nations; the way people think and behave; the social production and consumption of information; and finally, and perhaps most important, the meaning of meaning and the notion of a good life.

yes. it’s crucial for Bitcoin’s success to have a wide open space for experimenting with the technology (Saylor’s crude oil analogy is great), but the right to self-custody must remain foundational across jurisdictions—a global standard.

Fiat is a digitized monetary system: it’s a political system converted into digital form. Bitcoin is a digital native monetary system: it’s a non-political system that only exists in digital form.

BANKING THE UNBANKED. This is “N”, an 8-year old boy, near the top of his class, and a disciplined saver in the only money he and his family know: fiat. Today, I taught him about Bitcoin: internet money that cannot be debased. I also taught him how fiat money works, why currencies lose value, and why prices are designed to rise over time. Both he and his uncle don’t have bank accounts. Through his uncle, he will be saving in Bitcoin over (hopefully) a long time through a project called Bitcoin Savings Program. I intend to train him to become a Bitcoin lecturer so he can teach fellow Filipinos about Bitcoin and how to use it. By the time he becomes a teenager, he will be training fellow students and Filipino professionals about sound money.
This is him writing down his private keys and, with 12 words in his head, is on his way to becoming a sovereign individual. https://image.nostr.build/b835ae531b7bb268bee8141ed27df8c2a00af85084a66688d1b8fb9b2be21c95.jpg

About a year ago, I accepted the position of dean of a law school to teach and build on Bitcoin. Dropped the formal attire for shirts, taught a course on Money and State, wrote a book, spoke to anyone who listened, attended conferences, and learned from fellow bitcoiners. The exchange rate of bitcoin then was around $16K. It’s been an interesting year.
The next few years will be even more interesting. These days, I see working on Bitcoin both as advocacy and professional work, and the larger goal is to make as many people as possible understand Bitcoin as a real store of value and medium of exchange that is immune to manipulation. Those willing to learn will see the world differently, find hope, and see optimism in these challenging times. They will find like minded people who share a vision of a future that is more fair, where people are more empowered and self-reliant.
Happy to ride this wave. Excited and thankful to be part of this peaceful global movement for fairness.
Onwards. https://image.nostr.build/beeb2de8c881744568a249ccaced3b3f50fda8b9c08e6fda38c76555a57ffa38.jpg https://image.nostr.build/b25ef4deb4b1751d2e8911d81bf53cc3a53f7077f56a8709bb4d4820c5df00d7.jpg https://image.nostr.build/5cc16ba9eba8dda780b8e48582c98182e0e17c1d74b27a0d18b76fdf9f3a7ba8.jpg https://image.nostr.build/0cfcf4c263c0270f56a1ae8972f44a40999f8287f1b6954e04bccba9dc6f3176.jpg https://image.nostr.build/9220087f5f5cb888445f842e3905c16e0a33600b946fcad9d34d26f8f38f301a.jpg https://image.nostr.build/60415a9ed0500de5b0646f233693538ace13f3b5f4d4a28629277f63b321207f.jpg https://image.nostr.build/07c5acda3dbf0234ac71cbd306e6a35491331587d4e250a6374b4c7391d0284d.jpg

Low time preference is a function of experience, not mere knowledge. People w/out access to a good store of value will find it impossible to develop such discipline/mindset, especially when the money is a melting ice cube. Bitcoin fixed the money; now let’s help it fix the world.

2023-10-23 02:26:08 UTC

Monetary systems today are considered “public” in the sense that they are owned/controlled by governments. #Bitcoin as a monetary system is also public but in a different, empowering sense: its stewards are the people themselves, the global Bitcoin community, its various publics.

With members of the SUSG, Silliman university’s student government. Talked to them about Bitcoin and the need to understand its importance and how it will impact their lives. Happily impressed with their ability to pick up even the technical nuances of a complex subject matter.

RE JULIAN. had a conversation with this film maker and his father’s quest to have the Wikileaks founder set free, documented in the film Ithaka.

Hyperbitcoinization is a state of the world where people and communities are able to internalize the benefits of exchanging or trading value arising from using the Bitcoin network, allowing them to avoid the leakages and rent extracted today by those in charge of the fiat system.
#Bitcoin

2023-07-05 01:05:22 UTC

Most people view the fiat system as a mere passive environment where economic activity happens, like Newton’s space/time. In truth, it’s an active participant, affecting the fabric of economic, social, political relations, like Einstein’s curvature of space/time. Thus, #Bitcoin.

2023-06-10 01:48:10 UTC

#Bitcoin is a real estate in cyberspace, with 21 million plots, each of which is divisible into 100 million lots. Rights over these lots are global, pseudonymous, permission-less. This global public registry of private rights is the cornerstone of rights in the Information Age.

2023-06-06 06:01:34 UTC

The case for #Bitcoin is the case for ordinary fairness—that the value of money not be taken away and diluted by those in power from ordinary people.

2023-06-04 08:43:57 UTC

#Bitcoin is a first-of-its-kind global public utility providing service to all—permissionless value transport—without the need for franchise/license fees.
It’s bound to disrupt the model of corporations operating w franchise/license because its rails can offer cheap and fast transport service that can not be matched by legacy institutions.

At the technical layer, yes. At the social layer, not yet. Humanity’s cash = adoption in the billions.

2023-06-03 23:38:01 UTC

The idea of a world reserve currency is nation-state centric.
The goal for #Bitcoin is probably better described as becoming humanity’s cash/money. It is as envisioned by Satoshi himself in the title to his white paper. It is consistent with the goal of empowering sovereign individuals, even communities.

2023-06-01 12:44:48 UTC

The money is an expensive social network operated by governments as an unnamed public utility handicapped by all problems associated with the fiat system. Its protocol is controlled by politicians and bureaucrats.
#Bitcoin is a non-government social network for transmitting value that doesn’t require licenses and franchises to operate. Coders act as legislators and stewards of the protocol.
Cheaper, faster network wins.

2023-05-31 03:15:31 UTC

A global public system of private rights without intermediaries alters the very nature of rights, collapses that artificial distinction, and creates something new.

The Westphalian System created an order of rights w/ intermediaries at both nat’l & int’l level. Every violation of right requires a trusted third party—police, local court, int’l courts—for relief & vindication.

#Bitcoin is for those who need it: the unbanked, financially repressed or excluded from payment rails, OFWs seeking lower fees, wage earners whose salaries can’t catch up with inflation, monetary colonies, etc. Bitcoin is for everyone, but appeals most to those who must use it.

What is the value of Bitcoin? It is the massive positive externalities derived from a fair and honest monetary system.
The improvement on human society that will be brought about by a fair and honesty monetary system is priceless.

To more fully appreciate and understand Bitcoin, focus on the network, not on the fiat price of the token.
#Bitcoin is more interesting than bitcoin.

When central banks create money, they don’t create value. What money printing does is take value from those who have money, and put it in the newly created money. The first to receive that new money are able to “invest” or dump that new money into real estate, stocks, bonds, artwork, etc. Who loses from this system? The downstream users of the money, now diluted by the earlier printing: ordinary people, fixed income savers.
#Bitcoin fixes this.

This is Atan and Paul, my companions at Kalayaan Homestead. Every month this year, they’ve been receiving Sats or Satoshis in addition to their salaries. Like half of the Philippine population, they belong to the “unbanked”—people who have no bank accounts and have no access to the financial rails of the country. To be unbanked is to be handicapped and have impaired ability to buy and save. This is a global problem.
Bitcoin solves this problem because 12 words give you access to money and a savings account that cannot be inflated by governments. With a few conversations here and there, they’ve started to know the meaning of sound money.
Imagine when this becomes a reality for families, barangays, indigenous peoples, cooperatives, savings and loan associations. People individually and collectively having access to a new financial system, bypassing the old one.
A former President famously said, “you can’t eat human rights.” Bitcoin makes the right to property real for the disadvantaged, allowing them to plan for the future and save their labor in a form of money secured by energy and protected from politics.
Bitcoin is hope.

Presentation at Boracay #Bitcoin Retreat (28 March 2023)
Bitcoin as Language and Foundational Protocol of Civilization

The Protocol Wars of the 21st Century will be between #Bitcoin and CBDCs. It will be between freedom for plebs and digital panopticon.

The U.S., after suspending the redeemability of the dollar to gold, created the petrodollar system to sustain an artificial demand for its currency.
Now that such system is about to collapse because of what China and Russia are doing, the best move for the U.S. would be to load up in bitcoin and later on declare that the dollar as backed by Bitcoin. This should re-establish trust in the dollar and tie its currency with money actually tied with energy.

#Bitcoin is language, a communications protocol.
Like math. Like any other system for oral and written communication.
It is the Lingua Franca of the digitally networked information economy of the 21st century.

#Bitcoin is systemic fairness.
We can spend a good part of our lives fighting against instances of injustice and abuse, but if winning requires consent by trusted agents of the system, we are bound to eventually get disappointed and broken-hearted.
Activism within the system is necessary still and is a worthwhile effort for many.
Bitcoin is different because it is an entirely new system: fair by default and by design. It is a world where public and private institutions cannot tamper with and manipulate the product of your labor, work, and energy.
In this world, the party you need to trust, first and foremost, is yourself.

The value to society and to humanity at large of an honest and stable monetary system is priceless.

#Bitcoin is a set of abstract ideas, encoded in software, with the internet as medium, using energy as its foundation of security and constraint.

This is the first meeting of The #Bitcoin Society of the Philippines. The goal is to promote Bitcoin education and adoption. Our home node is Silliman University.

#Bitcoin is digital scarcity on a timechain. Everything else is a mirror of fiat, on a blockchain.

THE MISSION. last year, while still a homesteader and not affiliated with any institution, I posted a note inviting people to the homestead for a lecture about things I’ve learned about the world with the privilege of time and being away from everything.
Today, as Dean of Silliman Law, I’ve begun the work of informing people about The Bitcoin Monetary Network and how it will affect us all as the world changes at an accelerating pace.
Like most other missionary work, this will be tiresome and lonely at first, but bitcoiners all over the world are full of confidence, hope, and optimism because they have a solution in their hands that they believe people will accept as good for the world. We just need to bridge the gap between knowledge and fear, skepticism and understanding.
See you at the next forum.
